Jul 2022 - Dec 2022
Collected, analysed, and interpreted geologic and geotechnical data to inform decisions related to open-pit and underground mining. Managed field teams of up to eight people facilitating the collection of geotechnical data from triple-tube diamond-drilled core. Developed Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models from client data and used these models to back-analyze and predict stability and caveability for active mining projects. Used coding and scripting to present data and results in an attractive, concise, and meaningful way in order to communicate complicated concepts to clients. Show less

Jan 2016 - Aug 2022
Assisted in the design, planning, and execution of mining projects from pre-feasibility through to closure as it relates to rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Developed discrete fracture network models for proposed, active, closing, or closed open-pit and underground mines to address problems such as mine stability, fragmentation, dilution, and optimisation. Processed data and results using Python, presented findings using succinct visualisation tools and charts. Conducted field visits to collect geotechnical data from drilling (diamond drilling, reverse circulation drilling, sonic drilling), surface mapping, and test pitting. Trained site staff on geotechnical data collection from drill core. Show less

May 2015 - Dec 2015
Communicated with construction site personnel to identify the required material specifications and intentions. Completed field spot tests on concrete and density tests on soils with a nuclear gauge in a timely manner in order to ensure construction could continue promptly after testing. Sampled concrete, soils, aggregate and asphalt in the field and safely transported samples to the lab for testing. Conducted tests on soil such as sieve and proctor analysis, soundness, micro-deval, resistivity, and specific gravity. Subcontracted by BBE Hydro Constructors LP to complete field work on Manitoba Hydro’s Keeyask generating station project as a crush quality control technician in a camp setting for rotational day and night shifts.
